Rare Earth

Famous quotes containing the words rare and/or earth:

“Heaven sometimes hedges a rare character about with ungainliness and odium, as the burr that protects the fruit.”

“And what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days;
Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune,
And over it softly her warm ear lays:
Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur, or see it glisten;”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
